Google releases Pixel C Android 6.0.1 factory image

In case you were wondering whether Google would be treating its new Pixel C tablet as it would one of its Nexus devices, wonder no longer. Google has today put up the Pixel C Android 6.0.1 factory image, joining the list of factory images that was released just a few days ago. Unusually, the Pixel C is codenamed “ryu”, which as far as I can tell isn’t a species of fish – Nexus devices (and even Android Wear devices) are generally codenamed with the name of a species of fish, but obviously the Pixel C must have been a different kind of beast.

I’m not even sure if anyone actually has the Pixel C in their hands (apart from media reviewers), but if you do and you want to try your hand at flashing the factory image, you’ll be able to download it from the Google Developers website here. Of course, the safer route would be the wait for the OTA update, which undoubtedly will start rolling out very shortly. And as a reminder, apart from the December security update, the main update in Android 6.0.1 has been the addition of new emoji.

What do you think about the Pixel C tablet? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
